Hip Hop Heart with a House Head!
From an early age Donnie has always had an obsession with music. “I remember stealing CD’s
from my uncle when I was like 10 years old. Some good ones like Westside Connection, Dr. Dre and a
bunch of Stones and Jimmy Buffet cds”. He has always had music in his life. Every phase of his life he
has drawn on a different genre. Just watching one set from the rising upcoming DJ, you can tell that his
has the talent and the musical knowledge to make it far in this business! Drawing on a lot of his prior
Hip Hop and Jam band type music, Donnie will take you on a funky and melodic ride through house
music touching on some techno and minimal aspects also, using chunky hip hop basslines, the guitars,
percussion and brass instruments of the jam bands to give you a musical treat that is fresh to the South
Florida scene!
He really caught the bug for electronic music again when he moved back to Fort Lauderdale in
2008, “I’ve always loved dance music, seeing that I grew up with it down here. I remember the first time
I stepped in the dj booth in 2008, WOW! I fell in love and wanted to learn how to do this!” Picking up
the decks in the summer of 2009, Donnie quickly began to learn the basics of DJing. In no time he was
rocking crowds and getting noticed from a lot of his industry peers. “Something inside of me just clicked
when I touched the decks for the first time. I picked everything up very quickly and was way ahead of
the learning curve. I was lucky to have the opportunities I did but I earned my time as a promoter and
developing a good following before I even touched the decks in a nightclub.”
2013 brings on the year of solo releases and also collaborations with good friend Michael Gin,
under the newly formed alias, Lost Pieces. Under Lost Pieces, the boys have garnered support from all
corners of the globe, with the likes of John Digweed, Mark Farina, Laurent Garnier, Mark Jenkyns,
Denney, Maceo Plex, Carlo Gambino and many more hammering away at the duo’s records. With a
string of releases on labels such as Nervous, Younan Music, Xima Records, Midnight Social Recordings
and Over Recordings to name a few, the boys are in the right position to go global.
After a 7 year Residency at Gryphon Nightclub in Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Donnie has moved
on to the newest Miami venue, Steam Miami, where he plays several times a month, as well as hosting a
monthly Sunday party. He is also one of the innovators for two top parties in South Florida, Sunday
Social and Picnic for Misfits with his Partner Brock Lambet. In 2013 Donnie received the Best DJ in
Broward and Palm Beach counties award. Exclusive Artist/Producer for Miami based Xima Records and
UK based Midnight Social Recordings.
In Donnie’s short career he has had the opportunity to play at some of the finest venues South
Florida (Space Miami, TRADE Miami, Tree House, The Electric Pickle, Do Not Sit, Gryphon Nightclub,
Monarchy WPB and many more), as well has numerous International Gigs (Colombia, Panama,
Netherlands, London, Spain and France. “It’s been such a fun experience so far and
I’m just lucky that I have been able to play in places I love, with the guys who got me into djing.”

Martinez Brothers,Danny Tenaglia, Boris, Sander Kleinenberg, Mark Knight, Paul Oakenfold, John
